The electric motor provides some acceleration at low speeds; the gasoline engine kicks in when accelerating hard or for highway travel. The air-conditioning compressor is electric (rather than belt-driven) to save gas. This also means the air conditioner can blow in cold air even with the engine turned off. The Altima Hybrid achieves an estimated 35/33 mpg... |

1996 nissan altima Professional Edmunds ReviewSource: Edmunds...The Altima is a fun car, and plays the roles of pedestrian family hauler and pseudo-sport sedan with equal aplomb. Heavily subsidized national lease deals on the GXE trim level haven't hurt sales either, and virtually guarantee an excellent used Altima market in the near future. This year, Nissan pops new wheelcovers on lower trim levels, puts new upholstery into the GXE, and gives cars with power door locks new lock logic. Four trim levels are available: entry-level XE; midpriced GXE; sporty SE; and luxury-oriented GLE. The GXE is the best seller, and when equipped with air conditioning... |

1993 Nissan Altima Professional Cars.com ReviewSource: Cars.com...Legroom for rear passengers also drew praise. The trunk is spacious for a small car. Loading and unloading is easy because the lip of the trunk lids extends down to the bumper. That way, you don't have to lift cargo into the trunk; it slides in at bumper height. The test car came with an interesting innovation: heads-up display or ''HUD.'' The vehicle's speed is projected on the lower left portion of the windshield in bright digital numbers. With HUD, the driver need not takes his eyes off the road to read the car's speedometer. Altima's HUD also displays the turns signals and the car's... |

An audio system with 6 speakers, auxiliary audio jack and AM/FM/CD are now standard fare, as is Nissan’s Intelligent Key system, which allows owners to lock or unlock the car or start the engine without taking the fob out of a pocket or purse. The 3.5 SR continues where the 2.5 S leaves off, with an 8-way power-adjustable driver’s seat, extendable sun visors with illuminated vanity mirrors, a leather-wrapped... |

Why should I also consider these?
There truly is something for every driver among the popular segment of mid-size sedans, but it pays to have your priorities straight.
The Nissan Altima wins on styling and V-6 power, but it's not the most fuel-efficient offering and has less inspiring safety scores.
The Ford Fusion is one of the sportier-driving mid-size sedans and has great handling; it's also well-built and offers impressive fuel economy in four-cylinder form, especially as a hybrid.
For buyers seeking interior room, the Honda Accord, Hyundai Sonata, Kia Optima, and Toyota Camry are leaders; the Sonata and Optima are standouts in this class, with roomy interiors, impressive refinement, and excellent fuel economy, while the Accord has the largest back seat of all.
The Toyota Camry will be new for 2012; in the meantime, there's a new American-made VW Passat with vast rear-seat room and a simpler, plainer interior to go with its 43-mpg diesel highway fuel economy.
